Football and Buffalo (Wings)

 

Score Big -
With Great Game Day Grub!

Recipes below
Football season is about more than just the game. Whether you're on the couch with a few buddies or in the stands with a bunch of die-hard fans, every game requires traditional tailgating munchies. Buffalo Wings reign as one of the most popular game day eats with more than one billion wings consumed during Super Bowl weekend alone! The secret to creating your favorite restaurant-style wings at home is FRANK'S® REDHOT® Cayenne Pepper Sauce, the secret ingredient used in the original Buffalo Wing sauce and an all time favorite since its debut in 1964.
 
Frank's RedHot also delivers fun and excitement to a variety of foods, way beyond wings. Ethel Herman, well known for her popular radio spots touting the benefits of RedHot, says, "I put that sauce on everything! At my game day gatherings there's a bottle on every table. I especially enjoy splashing my favorite elixir on everyday foods like pizza, fries, tacos, popcorn, shrimp and foot-long subs." So kick-off the season with Frank's new flavors - Sweet Heat BBQ & Hot Buffalo wing sauces - and also try these great recipes to score big with your friends and family.
